Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
The love for material things is one of the major plagues of an unfulfilled man. Thus, the Lord admonishes us today on the right things on which our affection should be focused to: THINGS ABOVE.
This is symbolic. The things above refers to things that are higher and imperishable, things that can't expire, things that can't be stolen or wasted.
Falling under this category are the treasures in heaven, our salvation, eternal rewards and our oneness with Christ for eternity.
It's amazing to note that these treasures are the only significant things that we should go for or even die for if need be.
Everything on earth shall end someday, whether they are marriages, houses, cars, careers, money, etc. They shall perish, but eternity with Christ and the rewards awaiting us shall remain relevant forever.
What would you rather choose to love? The pleasures of this world that shall end in tears and regrets? The cars and houses that shall become obsolete when we are no more?
Jesus and the salvation package are the best choice. Choose Him, love Him and you shall enjoy abundant life till eternity.
Let's pray together.
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your love upon us. We long to love you completely forever, please deliver us from distractions and help us to love what you love, in Jesus name. Amen.
